It was in February of last year that Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin became a household name to represent the message of conservatives across the country. This man shrugged union intimidation and liberal numbers from every corner of America. He pressed his shoulder to the wheel and drove the economic reform he campaigned on to bring the state of Wisconsin closer to a budget that could breathe above the surface of deficit. He succeeded.
For this, he is forced into a recall election. Those who signed the petition to have him recalled would argue that he is robbing them of their pensions, their health care, and the promises that were made to them. I, and many others like me, would argue that he is slowly decompressing a rupturing bubble in Wisconsin that will inevitably pop, sooner rather than later, to avoid the catastrophe of not facing the ugly economic truth before Wisconsin, and so many other states.
250.5 miles to go.
Here is what happened one year ago on Day229.
